I plant pole beans on both sides of one section, and usually have a pot or two of cucumbers on another side, as well as a cherry tomato in a corner.

I have a large dog kennel outside that we do not put our dogs in anymore and I came up with the idea a few weeks ago to plant our garden in there to keep it safe.

John dug up this east garden with it in 2008, when I built the beds. It worked fine then, and he borrowed it once after that to dig a friend&#39;s garden, so I&#39;m keeping fingers crossed it still runs. With no vegetation there, and the soil being so loose, I don&#39;t expect it to be difficult tilling.Annie's Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-14006787654341273042011-03-26T08:06:15.466-07:002011-03-26T08:06:15.466-07:00Looks like lots of work.

I&#39;m pretty strong, but it killed my back. (Out comes the Advil) I&#39;m liking this setup much better. My chickens are in a movable run. I love them. A few months ago, I convinced hubby we could keep the 4 new babies I rescued. My total is 5 hens, 2 roosters.<br />~~LoriDirt Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218959840456660541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-4690350514162573282011-03-25T09:55:14.663-07:002011-03-25T09:55:14.663-07:00Hey, Villager, what say we ditch our spouses and r...Hey, Villager, what say we ditch our spouses and run off to grow chickens together?
